I Saw the Dead Songtext
von Villagers

Have you got just a minute?
Are you easily led?
Let me show you the back room
Where I saw the dead

Dancing like children
On a midsummer morn
And they asked me to join
They asked me to join

But my body was stubborn
Wouldn′t let me give in
So I offered a good deed
In return for a sin

Now they got me where they want me
In this daily parade
And I'd walk unafraid
I would walk unafraid


But the crowds are all laughing
At my every mistake
And it′s making my neck hurt
And I feel like a fake

How can I even stand here
Like I've something to say?
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say

And it feels like I'm changing
Keep forgetting my way
So I asked an old stranger
But he led me astray

There′s something we′re missing, darling
So let's wander instead
And I′ll show you the back room
Where I saw the dead

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

And we will be thankful
And we will be fed
You take the torso
And I'll take the head


There′s something we're missing, darling
So let′s wander instead
And I'll show you the back room
Where I saw the dead

Ooh-ooh (where I saw the dead), ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

There's something we′re missing, darling
There′s something we're missing, darling, oh
Something we′re missing, darling
Something we're missing, darling
Something we′re missing, darling, oh
Something we're missing, dar-
